⬤ Cost Opportunity Assessment
Get an early indication of where savings potential may exist.
A quick, benchmark-based starting point — before committing to a deeper review.
Before investing time in a full category review, it can help to have an early, indicative sense of where meaningful savings potential might exist. This is not a substitute for detailed analysis — it is a fast way to see whether a category is worth exploring further.
The Cost Opportunity Assessment uses benchmark data from thousands of prior cost optimization engagements to give management a preliminary estimate based on annual spend in a selected category.
Select a single cost category to focus on
Enter your approximate annual spend
Receive a minimum, typical and maximum indicative range
Use the result as a starting point for a more informed conversation
⬤ Why It Matters
Not every category deserves the same level of attention right away.
Management teams often face the same question before starting a cost review: where should we look first? Without an early indication of scale, it is easy to spend time analyzing categories with limited upside while categories with real potential go unreviewed.
A quick, benchmark-based estimate helps set realistic expectations before committing time and resources to a full analysis — and can also confirm when a category is unlikely to be worth pursuing further.
⬤ How the Estimate Is Built
Based on real benchmark data, not assumptions.
The assessment draws on benchmark ranges built from a large base of prior cost optimization projects across multiple industries and categories. Rather than applying a generic percentage, the estimate reflects patterns typically observed for the specific category and spend level entered.
The result reflects three reference points:
Conservative
Low end
Typical
Average case
High Potential
High end
The result is not a guarantee of savings. It is a starting point for a more informed discussion about whether the category deserves deeper professional review.
⬤ What Happens Next
From an indicative estimate to a real conversation.
Once you have an indicative range for your selected category, the next step is a short discussion to understand whether the result reflects your specific situation and, if relevant, what a deeper review could look like.
This step can help clarify:
Whether the indicative range is realistic for your business
Which factors could move the result higher or lower
Whether the category is worth a full Cost Structure Diagnostic
What a next step could look like, if relevant
⬤ Start With a Number
See an indicative range before committing to a full review.
It only takes a category and an annual spend figure to get a first sense of where potential may exist — with no commitment required.
